On this week’s Black Ink Crew: Chicago, he finally convinces his baby mama Whitney to let him see his newly-discovered daughter Kinleigh, but seeing is pretty much as far as it goes.

After arguing, there’s a tiny light at the end of the tunnel when Whitney begrudgingly tells Don he can have the baby for the rest of the day — but Kinleigh has different plans. As soon as Don steps in the car she starts crying, as babies do, and Whitney takes that as an opportunity to call the whole thing off.

Don’s life should honestly be a scared straight commercial for no glove, no love — or, you know, not cheating on your girlfriend/fiancée but… baby steps (no pun intended). As everything comes back to bite him, Don really does seem like he wants to change and become the man he always thought he would be.
